“A date which will live in infamy.” — FD Roosevelt
For as long as I can remember, I have been captured with this time in history. I love reading anything about the World Wars.
Aside from the “romance” of this time, we must remember that sixty-eight years ago today, in a brutal attack on our country, 2,335 American soldiers and 68 American civilians died and 1,178 Americans were wounded.
How sad. How tragic.
Today I’m remembering.

I’m so glad that you are here! My Blessed Life is a place of encouragement and inspiration for your heart and your home. Before becoming a stay at home mom, I was an interior designer in love with beautiful things. But I’m learning that a beautiful home is more than meets the eye; ultimately, it’s a matter of the heart. Won’t you join me on this amazing journey?
